Were it up to me, my Library would be running only Linux-based machines. However...we're supported by the City's IT Dept., and they're currently committed to Microsloth products. Fortunately, we're semi-independent and they don't care what software we use if a) we have the necessary licenses, b) we fix it ourselves if it breaks, and c) it will interact with their software and network without causing problems.

So I run Wordperfect instead of the City-standard Word, Quattro Pro instead of Excel, Presentations instead of Power Point.

Again, if I had my way (hey, that sounds like a good line for a song!) I'd be running something like RHL or SuSE with a KDE or Gnome desktop and Open Office or something similar.

Up the Bazaar and down with the Cathedral!
